| 6 | Konversation v1.7-rc1 is the first release candidate for the next major version of Konversation. The focus of the v1.7 release is on greatly expanded protocol support, with newly-added support for many more IRC v3 extensions and the much-requested support for SASL EXTERNAL and 'server-time'. Many bugfixes and cleanups along with reinstated features initially lost in the first Frameworks 5-based release series v1.6.x are included as well. Finally, the handbook has been thoroughly refreshed in this release and building on Mac and Windows has seen several fixes. | ||||
